Rutgers coach

[ktheodos]

So...thoughts abouto him being fired?

I think this should have been addressed a long time ago as this wasn't a one time incident. What they allowed the coach to do is utterly ridiculous! I don't think he's sorry at all (as he stated). I think he's just sorry that he got caught.

   I could not believe the videos that were shown of what was going on a the Rutgers practices!! I am very happy that they fired the "coach"

He got what he deserved! Hopefully he will never get hired as a coach again!

He got what he deserved.  Physical and/or verbal abuse should never be allowed on a basketball court, especially from a coach.

It's sad to see authority figures taking advantage of their positions. There are several ways to get your message across players, physical and verbal abuse shouldn't be one of them. I'm all up for discipline and accountability, but that doesn't include physical and verbal abuse. The university reacted to public backlash, if it wasn't for the video being released to the public, he would probably still be Rutgers basketball head coach. I'd say 99.99% of offenders are never sorry, they're only sorry they got caught.

Didn't Rutgers learn the first time when that gay kid committed suicide because of his roommate? Wouldn't you think that they'd maybe keep more of an eye out on things like bullying? Because all though these are different scenarios, it still boils down to bullying. Shame on this sorry exude for a coach, and shame on Rutgers too!

To be honest, he should have been fired in the beginning.  He crossed the line and that was like he was trying to lower the players below him.  Throwing *bleep* wasn't nice either.  Nor was the language.  I believe they let him go on too long.  I, for one, am glad he is gone.
